The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A tense, real-time tactical card game where you must quickly and strategically empower your character between fights.

What players say

Players praise the parry mechanic and progression loop but are split on the randomness and slow stamina regeneration that forces stalling. Many report a recurring crash from a particle system error, while others note that runs often yield similar builds due to rare elemental cards.
